Image
Other paths would include making nuclear fission cheap enough and safe enough that people broadly embrace it, so that could be scaled up.
Bill Gates
Image
Microsoft does not dominate the software industry by any stretch of the imagination. We have lots of very able competitors who keep us constantly vigilant, and sometimes they beat us to the punch. Microsoft's success to date is based solely on the fact that people like Microsoft software.
Bill Gates
Image
We're only at the beginning of what we have to do here.
Bill Gates
Image
Technology is unlocking the innate compassion we have for our fellow human beings.
Bill Gates
Image
So not only are we saving lives now, we're creating the incentive for the breakthroughs that over the next generation will mean we can take AIDS, malaria and TB and bring those numbers dramatically down.
Bill Gates
Image
Know your numbers' is a fundamental precept of business.
Bill Gates
Image
Energy is very primal stuff and there are a lot of leads that are promising, still at a fairly risky stage, but over the next decade some of these breakthrough approaches are going to pay out, and U.S. research and U.S. leadership on this should be part of how it gets solved.

The most interesting biofuel efforts avoid using land that's expensive and has high opportunity costs. They do this by getting onto other types of land, or taking advantage of byproducts that aren't used in the food chain today, or by intercropping.
Bill Gates
Image
I believe OS/2 is destined to be the most important operating system, and possibly program, of all time.

I don't have any TVs with their over-the-air receivers connected in my house. But when I'm in a hotel room or other places that have a TV, then I turn it on and flip the channels just like everybody else. I'm not immune to the lures of television. I just try to stay away from it because I like to read.
Bill Gates
Image
Most of our competitors were one-product wonders... They would do their one product, but never get their engineering sorted out.
Bill Gates
Image
If I had a dollar for every time someone made fun of me in high school-oh wait, I do!
Bill Gates
Image
If we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world. This task is open-ended. It can never be finished. But a conscious effort to answer this challenge will change the world.
Bill Gates
Image
Being flooded with information doesn't mean we have the right information or that we're in touch with the right people.
Bill Gates
Image
Well-spent aid money is saving lives for a few thousand dollars per life saved.
Bill Gates
Image
I really do think cancer will largely be a solved problem. I think most of the infectious diseases like malaria - our foundation is very involved - once we're finishing polio eradication, then starting up this malaria eradication, and getting that done as fast as we can.
Bill Gates
Image
With world health, every life you save is a wonderful thing, so it's not this question of whether you solve it or you don't. The chance of completely solving the problems has long odds. But really, the thing is that you get to save the first child, the second child, the third child. You can just feel good about that.

The Wright Brothers created the single greatest cultural force since the invention of writing. The airplane became the first World Wide Web, bringing people, languages, ideas, and values together.
Bill Gates
Image
During the past two centuries, innovation has more than doubled our life span and given us cheap energy and more food. If we project what the world will be like 10 years from now without continuing innovation in health, energy or food, the picture is dark.
Bill Gates

Well, I don't think there's any need for people to focus on my career.
